        Verdict

        Halfway To Heaven is the main European hope of the night having landed the Sun Chariot Stakes on her most recent start. Aidan O'Brien's charge is tough and won't go down without a fight but the surface is an unknown and her season started back in April. Wait A While won the Yellow Ribbon Stakes over course and distance and looks sure to feature in the three but a tentative vote is given to FOREVER TOGETHER. She swept past Precious Kitten to win over a mile at Keeneland last time. With plenty of pace in the race, her turn of foot could be a potent weapon in the dash to the line.
